I need to amend my 2021 return- but I have already made a payment in 2022 when filing for my tax balance due. When amending, do I enter the amount I paid? If so, where

I see the areas for estimated tax payments, payments to extensions etc, but not the taxes paid for that return after filing.

NO ... payments you already made are NOT reflected on the 1040X form ... you would simply deduct the amount already paid from the balance due when you send them a payment.

YES

"If so, where"

There is not a huge number of summation lines on 1040-X.

1040-X Line 16.

See description of 1040-X line 16

You don't want to be sending IRS less than the "amount you owe" showing on 1040-X.

I stand corrected ... however you either need to make the override in the FORMS mode of the downloaded program OR make a manual correction on line 16 (and recompute the rest of the form) on a paper filed return if you mail it in or use the online program OR just send less with the amended return (or pay it online and not with the amended return)... the IRS will marry up your payments with the return automatically.
